What do you do when you don’t feel motivated to exercise?

Fabulous CoachBehavioral Science AssistantRecommended AnswerAI Summary

When motivation wanes, try to reconnect with your 'why' for exercising. Set small, achievable goals, and consider scheduling your workouts as non-negotiable appointments. Creating a routine can help establish exercise as a meaningful daily ritual. Remember, even short sessions count, so aim for consistency over intensity. Finding a workout buddy or listening to energizing music can also boost your mood and motivation. Focus on the positive feelings that follow exercise to reinforce the habit.

I normally set aside the clothes one night before and have them ready so I don’t have to even think about what to wear. Sometimes I do exercise with my pijamas the 7 minute exercise. But I normally book a class in the gym and if you don’t go to the class you have to pay a no show fee that it is quite expensive. Therefore that helps me go and be there. Also I plan to go with someone then it is difficult to say no.
